Poll shows about 70% of Americans oppose taking control of Greenland

According to the latest public opinion poll released by the Associated Press, about 70 percent of Americans oppose the United States taking control of Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark.

Among Republicans who support U.S. President Donald Trump, about 50 percent are opposed to the United States acquiring Greenland. The Associated Press noted that, so far, very few people in the United States have publicly expressed support for the plan to take control of Greenland.

Only about 24% of American adults approve of Trump’s approach to Greenland. Among Republicans, opinions are notably more divided; roughly half disapprove of the attempt to incorporate the icy territory into the United States.

The survey indicated that his approval ratings among Republicans on this issue are substantially lower than for other critical subjects, such as the economy and immigration, where support exceeds 80%. Notably, around 70% of Republicans approve of Trump’s overall foreign policy stance.

Furthermore, younger Republicans take a particularly critical stance toward Trump’s handling of the Greenland situation. About 60% of Republicans under 45 disapprove of his leadership on this issue, compared with roughly 40% of older Republicans. The approval rating for Trump’s actions related to Greenland is markedly lower than the approval levels among younger Republicans on issues such as foreign policy, the economy, and immigration.
